Launching is awesome
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009Today has been an amazing week — and it is only half over! On Monday, we launched our product Cloudkick. Cloudkick is a system to manage cloud servers, like those provided by Amazon EC2 or Slicehost. We have been building this over the past three months as part of the y-combinator program. It was very exciting to get it out the door!
So far the results have been awesome.
We broke 2000 registered servers tonight! Note, the x-axis is about 1.5 days, we nearly doubled in size!
The press has been great too:
- Techcrunch – Use Cloudkick to Manage Amazon Web Services’ EC2
- ComputerWorld – Companies to Watch: Cloudkick
- VentureBeat – Y Combinator Demo Day: Simple cloud management, real-time energy monitoring, and more
Today we pitched as part of Y-Combinator’s demo day. It went very well. We said all the things we wanted to say, and had very strong interest from investors. I can’t name names or anything — but things are looking good, even though we are in a down economy!
We are still are working some kinks with the system, and quickly working on adding new features, but so far everything is going well. I’m excited to see what the rest of the week has in store.
